Hello, first the good news: 1. I got mahogany to compile by switching the use of SWIG off. 2. I updated the German translation of both Mahogany itself and WxWidgets You find it (as usual) at http://home.netsurf.de/martin.jost/ I will send the wxWidgets part in as a patch. The translations are NOT tested in context (Sorry, see below)
now to the bad news (first the easy ones ;-) [Note: I'm using SuSe Linux 9.1, Kernel 2.6.5, libc6 Mahogany is installed in a non default directory (/pd/...)] 1. The messages use the word SPAM in all CAPS. The makers of the SPAM you can buy canned, insist that this spelling is their brand name. But they don't oppose to "spam" used in the sense we all know too well. (see http://www.spam.com/ci/ci_in.htm) IHMO this is a reasonable claim. 3. When I started the newly build M it couldn't find the tips files. It looks for "Tips.txt" but it is named just "Tips". (The path seems to be correct) 4. When I started the newly build M it couldn't find the help files. The directory entry for this was one off. This can be corrected using the dialog. It nevertheless will be a problem for beginners. 5. I have SWIG Version 1.3.21. Building with swig fails, as I have noted. I tried to have a look at swiglib.cpp as Vadim suggested, but could not find this file. (When I build using swig of course) [see also below] Now it gets really ugly: 6. When starting Mahogany it complains: "Impossible to load message catalog(s) for the locale 'de_DE', do you want to retry next time ?" There is /pd/mahogany0.66cvs/share/locale/de_DE (/pd/mahogany0.66cvs is the --prefix given to configure) drwxr-xr-x 3 pd users 80 2004-04-16 23:09 de lrwxrwxrwx 1 pd users 2 2004-04-18 17:03 de_DE -> de find de de de/LC_MESSAGES de/LC_MESSAGES/M.mo Permissions seem to be ok (readable by current user) So this should work !? (This is the reason, the translation is not checked in context) 7. Trying to create a new message ends M prematurately with "Fatal Error: can't load any font, aborting" in the window where it was started. I'm clueless about this one. Note: The fonts used for column headers or in the help seems incredible big. Other than that, there are signs in the GUI for font problems. Sorry for the bad news Martin P.S.: Details to the swig problem: >find . -iname 'swig*' ./src/Python/swiglib.py ./src/Python/swiglib.d ./src/Python/swiglib.o ./src/Python/swiglib.cpp-swig ./src/Python/swiglib.py-swig ./include/interface/swigcmn.i ./include/interface/swiglib.i swiglib.cpp-swig seems to be the most reasonable. grepping there yields: > grep -i -C 3 swig_typequery swiglib.cpp-swig SWIGIMPORT(void *) SWIG_TypeCast(swig_type_info *, void *); SWIGIMPORT(swig_type_info *) SWIG_TypeDynamicCast(swig_type_info *, void **); SWIGIMPORT(const char *) SWIG_TypeName(const swig_type_info *); SWIGIMPORT(swig_type_info *) SWIG_TypeQuery(const char *); SWIGIMPORT(void) SWIG_TypeClientData(swig_type_info *, void *); #else -- /* Search for a swig_type_info structure */ SWIGRUNTIME(swig_type_info *) SWIG_TypeQuery(const char *name) { swig_type_info *ty = swig_type_list; while (ty) { if (ty->str && (strcmp(name,ty->str) == 0)) return ty; --------------------------------------------------------------- Martin Jost Tamagotchi ?
